Moraine Park Technical College President Sheila Ruhland supports Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's plan for $500 million in new tax cuts that includes replacing property taxes raised by technical colleges with state money.

"The governor's proposal demonstrates a commitment to the Wisconsin Technical College System by bringing a stronger sense of funding to the system's structure," Ruhland said. "This proposal also demonstrates the value that Moraine Park Technical College plays in the role of the economic vitality of the state."
